Maybe not to you cause you dislike the MC, but a "doormat" MC isn't a big deal for everyone. After all a game having potential is in strictly based on ones own opinion of the game. I can see why he would say it has potential personally as I liked the story so far, especially once everything got revealed out in the open the game's story started to feel better to me personally. But I can see why one would say it doesn't have potential if the MC matters to them. I play disconnected from a MC so I personally had no issue of him being a push over and honestly I can relate. As that MC would be me to some extent as im a pushover as well always have been. So weak MC's never been an issue for me but I do prefer ones that aren't weak if I had a choice as for one it does make for a better character / story usually and well it's what I wish I was at times.
Imo the mc, the other characters and the story are all utter shit, really complete garbage.
Thats why im kinda curious what you like about the "story" and the reveals so much? You making it sound like a big mystery thriller.
.. but wasnt it just a mom abandoning her family because she suddenly realised shes a lesbian (and therefore has to cut all contact with her son?????) while being a therapist and leading her son in a depression with it while not giving a fuck about it.
Where is the good story? Im not trying to troll you, im genuinely curious what you liked about it.
I could maybe understand this story in a fantasy world or in the middle age where everyone being gay/lesbian is getting tortured or killed but everything was completly nonsensical the way it was potrayed if its really set in a modern western society.
Literally every character (including the mc) is a ungrateful bitch in this avn imo, the only exception maybe being mira.
The reveal made it way worse imo, like i was waiting for this big tragic event which could explain everything, just there wasnt any tragic involved, just a shitty mother, a shitty best friend and a shitty mc.
